Rec Board Endorses ‘Y’ Plan

Less than a week ago, I went to the local YMCA director to discuss her interest in taking over the summer ball program in Neosho.  That option is now one step closer to reality.

On Monday night, the Neosho Rec Board voted unanimously to recommend the YMCA take over the summer ball program starting for the upcoming season. Last week, city manager Jan Blase announced the city was considering eliminating the program as part of a larger plan to cut costs in the budget.

During the meeting, a group of citizens who had also come forward to run the program threw their support behind the ‘Y’ option and ask that a meeting scheduled next week to discuss their plan be cancelled.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
